The Book of Letters

for Wind Quintet

Instrumentation:

  • C Flute
  • Oboe
  • A Clarinet (dbl. Bb Clarinet)
  • F Horn
  • Bassoon

Program Notes:

An experimental work in which each of the six movements only contains a single pitch. The pitch is played with rhythmically, dynamically, and in terms of the orchestration. While it may seem like a tuning exercise for the fundamental pitches, this really is an emotional journey and experiment in stillness and constants.
